For long-time residents of Rhode Island, or visitors to the Ocean State alike, an opportunity to explore Providence from the inside-out comes every year with the West Broadway Neighborhood Association’s Annual House Tour. Now in its fifth year, this year’s tour ”Creative Conversions” highlights artists’ homes and gardens — where creativity flourishes in live-work spaces and local urban gardens green the city-scape.
Presented in partnership this year with the Providence Preservation Society (PPS), the 2018 WBNA House Tour is a day-long invitation to step inside a dozen private homes, studios, and gardens creatively reimagined on Providence’s West Side. The tour area is nestled beside the Cranston Street Armory between Harrison and Hammond streets, and includes conversions of an 1870’s former firehouse, a long-abandoned church, and a modern take on the mid-19th-century lightning splitter.

The self-guided tour invites visitors and families to step inside West Side houses, remade and invigorated by the creative energy of their owners, and discover the secluded gardens that pepper the neighborhood. More than just a location of beautifully restored and renovated buildings, this neighborhood of Providence has become known as a place for people, with an historic streetscape and a thriving economy that fuels the city’s magnetic, creative energy.

Tickets for the tour are $20 in advance, $15 for students, seniors, and military. Children under 12, accompanied by an adult, may take the tour for free. House Tour booklets, available to visitors at when they check-in at the Welcome Center, will feature historic information about the area and highlights along the tour route. For tickets and event details, visit www.wbna.org.

Harvesting Hope is an annual fundraiser featuring food grown by Southside Community Land Trust-supported farmers to highlight the organization’s work to build a sustainable, local food system. Attendees will hear about our recent projects, including our work to connect land owners with aspiring farmers seeking affordable property where they can grow food. Harvesting Hope will take place from 6-8:30 p.m. on Tues., Sept. 25, at the Squantum Association, at 947 Veterans Memorial Pkwy., Riverside, RI.

This year, we’ve invited chefs from several of Rhode Island’s most exciting restaurants – including Gracie’s, Red Fin Crudo, Walrus & Carpenter and Bayberry – to develop small plates featuring fresh produce grown by farmers around the state who participate in our land access, farmer training and apprenticeship programs. The event will also offer wines and a signature cocktail by Bottles Fine Wine and beer brewed for the event by Union Station Brewery. Last year’s event co-chair, Gracie’s Chef Matthew Varga, will continue to participate in the event. Besides the high quality of the produce grown locally, what Varga most appreciates about SCLT is its work to grow a local, sustainable food system – and healthy food itself – that is available to anyone in the state who wants it. “They do so much for Providence and Rhode Island to promote high-quality food, and to help farmers, refugees and community gardeners. It’s incredible to see how they have grown and the amount of impact they have on the community.”

Tickets run $100 for the 6-8:30 p.m. main event and $150 for 5 p.m. entry to the pre-event cocktail party. Both include two drinks and can be purchased at http://www.501auctions.com/harvestinghope. SCLT manages a network of 52 community gardens and urban farms, 21 of which it owns in Providence’s most economically challenged neighborhoods (Olneyville, the Southside and West End), where fresh, healthy food is least available. In addition to providing access to land SCLT offers education and agricultural resources so people in Rhode Island can grow food in environmentally sustainable ways, and create community food systems where locally produced, affordable and healthy food is available to all. SCLT is located at 109 Somerset Street in Providence, RI, 02907. For more information, please call 401-273-9419, or visit www.southsideclt.org

Neighbors for Revitalization

A big thank you to Teresa Guaba for coming to the July Crime Watch Meeting to talk about the important work of Neighbors for Revitalization (N4R) in the West end and Southside.N4R works with residents, community-based organizations, and other key stakeholders to address three challenges that face West End and Southside communities: a high number of vacant and abandoned properties, lack of affordable housing, and a high concentration of social services. To learn more contact Teresa Guaba, Project Coordinator,Teresa_guaba@cycprovidence.org

Crime Watch Tips

It’s hot, but don’t leave open windows and doors unattended.
Install air conditioners securely so they cannot be easily removed from the outside.

Be cautious of thieves who pose as home repairmen and access homes with ladders.

Keep doors, including garage doors, locked and keep windows secured.

Keep trash barrels away from open windows where they can be used as step stools to access homes.

If you are expecting the delivery of a package during a time when you are not home, make arrangements with a neighbor to watch for deliveries and take them in until you return home.

Don’t want your children to fall behind in school and be ready for to start the school year? Enroll them into the Boys & Girls Clubs of Providence Summer Learning Program and let’s prevent their summer learning loss together!

What is Summer Learning Loss?

Summer learning loss is the loss of academic skills and knowledge over the course of summer holidays. The loss in learning varies across grade level, subject matter, and family income. For some students, they can generally lose about 2 months of reading achievement.

The scholarship will be granted to students without reference to excellence in scholarship and prefers students unable to obtain other aid. Please click below for more information, as well as the application form.

We hope you take this opportunity to share news of the Bradford scholarship to any seniors graduating from public high schools in Providence, or young people currently enrolled in technical or undergraduate degree-granting programs!
